Family Pictures

It was time again to get our family pictures. I like to try and do them once a year but the past little while has been a bit hard. So I decided to just do them. We went to Kiddie Kandids and it was so great. The lady that took our pictures did soooo good with the kids. She was making Jase and Zoe laugh, which says a lot because Zoe was in a bad mood. Overall I am so happy we went and got them done. I love the way they turned out.

Halloween Party

Here are some pictures from the Halloween Party we went to. I was so much fun, we loved it. There were a bunch of couples from our ward and we went to our R.S. presidents parents home in Deer Valley (park city). Maybe you can figure out who everyone is suppose to be. Enjoy.

My Pumpkin Patch

This last summer I decided to try out a garden. I have never had my own garden before so I was a little nervous. All I planted were small tomatoes and pumpkins. The tomatoes did good, we had cherry tomatoes and pare tomatoes, yummy. I also planted 6 pumpkin plants. I didn't know how to do this and I found out I planted them really really close to each other. I didn't think I would get anything, and if I did they would be really small. Well my pumpkins actually did really good. I was very excited. I have some pictures just so you can see. We may even turn 1 or 2 into jack-a-lanterns.

Trapped

This is what happens to Zoe when she get to be too much for me.

If you really think I put her in here you don't know me. Zoe now LOVES to get into the dogs crates and shuts the door and watches all of us out in freedom. I don't know why she likes it so much, but if you try to open the door and get her out, watch out for some screaming and crying. She thinks this is the funnest thing to do. Another fun thing she found is instead of sitting in the stroller she hold on to the basket at the bottom (by where I step) with her knees on the ground and slides as I push the stroller. Interesting what kids come up with.

Fun videos of Zoe

Now here are some videos of Zoe. The first is of her playing on her musical chair. She loves this chair. She sits in it, she stands in it, and she loves to dance to it. This time she was standing and dancing. I wish I would have kept shooting just a little longer because as soon as I turned off the camera she fell. It would have been one to send to funniest home videos. As sad as it was it looked really funny. It was the perfect fall off the chair- head first. The second video is of Zoe and what she loves to do. She climbs onto the computer chair and plays on the keyboard. I think she sees me working on the computer a lot and wants to be like me. She also always seems to know how to turn the computer off. Hope you enjoy.

Fun videos of Jase

These two videos or of Jase. He doesn't let me take his picture very often so I was glad that I got these videos. The first is of him in the car. We were listening to some music that he likes to sing along to. You kinda have to listen closely because it's hard to hear him. The second is of him dancing. Keldon and I finally decided that we needed to see what all the hype was about for Highschool Musical, so we rented it and Jase loves it. This is of him dancing to one of the songs.

Sorry, I have just now figured out how to get the video loaded so here is a video of Zoes first week of walking. Just so you know, as soon as she started she took off and hasn't had any problems.

Sometimes I make myself so MAD!

Today I'm going to tell you a story of how my brain doesn't always work. Jase had his field trip to the Fire House today and I was one of the parents driving. So on the way to school (3/4 of the way there) I realized I forgot my camera, and I really wanted to bring it. So I turnd around and went home and got it, which made us late. I put my camera in the diaper bag/ my purse and we went into his school (I took the purse with me). We devided up the kids to who was riding with who, so I had Jase and Zoe pluse 2 boys and 1 girl. I got them all in the car a buckeled up and we took off for the Fire House. As soon as we got there I got all the kids out of the car and went to get my purse with the camera in it, guess what I couldn't see it. I thought to myself dang I left my bag at the preschool. So I was mad at myself but figured there wasn't anything I could do about it now, so we went inside. We had a lot of fun. The Firemen were really nice and the kids loved it. I could have had some great pictures too. All the kids got to get into the fire truck and sit in the seat. They got to put on the helmet, jacket, and oxygen tank if they wanted to. Then the class got up on the front of the fire truck and got a picture with the firemen and there teachers. Well we packed back into the car and went back to preschool, where I went inside to get my bag. It wasn't there!!! I went to my car to look again, it was in the back. I had it all along and could have had those great pictures but my dang brain had to not work for me today. AHHH! so there you have it, my great story. By the way I asked his teacher to email me some of the pictures they got so when I get them I'll post them.

The things this girl gets into

With the things this girl gets into and the climbing monkey she is I had to do a post on it.

She loves to get into whatever messy thing she can and she loves to climb where she really shouldn't be. So here are some pictures.

Zoe getting up onto the stool to our table.
Now shes up there and wants on the table.

Yep that's her ON the table. AHHHH!

I took her off the table and the next second I knew she was climbing back up.

Here are some things she gets into. The cabinet in the bathroom, she slipped and fell that's why she's crying.

The movies. I keep this closed with something in front of it so it's harder for her to open. Doesn't work. She knocks down and moves what ever was in front opens the door and gets the movies out. If she can open the DVD case she does and if she can get the DVD out she does. It's a good thing the DVDs she gets to are junk ones.

The bookshelf and under. In our bedroom we have a bookshelf with the kid books in it and under the bookshelf is where I store papers that I don't know where to put them yet. Zoe loves to pull out all the books and papers to make a wonderful mess. Don't you just love the look on her face?

Fun times at home

These are just a few pictures of how the kids love to tortue us. It's a lot of fun.

Alright my turn, I've been tagged!
